"content": "There are students who, instead of paying school fees, have resorted to taking a chance in gambling hoping to make money. As a result, they have dropped out of school and are just sitting at home. We have had cases of some of them committing suicide because of losing everything. We have had senior members of the society and parents who have become victims of betting and have lost all their earthly belongings. They are stressed and some of them have decided to take their lives. So, the betting business should be regulated. Social marketing campaigns should be enhanced so that people know the consequences of betting. If that is done, those who will participate in betting will do so knowing the consequences. Most of the time, betting is camouflaged in success stories and nice images. It is not right. The BCLB should be busy enhancing social marketing campaigns for people to know the consequences of betting, so that they do not become victims and lose everything. Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I stop there to give someone else an opportunity to make a contribution."
